SOAR Capital Campaign!

The NCLA is so fortunate to have students, parents and staff that exemplify excellence! We have become a family at our school, one that is truly unique and special in our community. The exciting part is we are only in our 3rd year and steadily working to improve our school. We have come far but have just begun!

The fact remains that while charter schools are publicly funded, we are not funded at the same rate as traditional school districts. We firmly believe that we offer a private school education environment at a public school price. To further our mission, we need your support and that of the community. This year’s SOAR campaign ensures we fulfill our commitment to hire and retain valuable talented teachers, continually improve our academic program and maintain and grow our facilities.

Our target is 100% participation from our families and faculty. No tax-deductible gift is too small and when added with the support of all our families the ability to make a significant impact can become a reality. A tax donation record will generated for donations above $50 and upon request or other amounts. Donations can be made electronically through the link below or by sending in checks or cash, please list SOAR in the memo line of checks. Details are located on our website. Please share this link with family and friends: www.thencla.org/SOAR

Thank you for your support!

Yearbook - PICTURES

WE NEED YOUR PHOTOS!

The NCLA yearbook needs your help to fill its pages and there's two ways to do so using Josten's "ReplayIt" application! Here's how...

ON YOUR PHONE!

- Go into any smart phone or tablet application store and search for "ReplayIt", an app. created by the Jostens company. Install the application.

- Create a log-in with ReplayIt. This information is good for use on the ReplayIt website, too!

- Once installed, open the application and click the 'camera' icon on your application homepage after searching for the school's name. It's usually located in a top corner.

- Upload photos directly from your phone into ReplayIt.

- YOU'RE DONE! Yearbook staff will see these photos within moments of their being uploaded.
